Hi
Good topic and questions.
1) No, it would be tricky but not impossible. Mainly because I am
self-employed so would probably have to re-schedule work to sort out my
portfolio.
2) If I was employed I would see it as a shared responsibility, but the
majority of it lying with myself. Most employers in my opinion would not
really recognize the importance and what it means to them.
3) No I don' have formal appraisals, but I do seek and get regular feedback
from customers.
4) What I think also needs to be here is clinical supervision, I am yet to
sort this out, and tend to use informal mechanisms like jiscmail, OH groups,
AOHNP.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] CPD for OH nurses/management involvement
Hi, I am new to this forum (and OH) and am enjoying access to such
experienced individuals... thank you all! I am studying my Dip in OH at
Warwick Uni and for my final assignment am exploring the challenge of
Continuous Professional Development for OH nurses and how management
involvement and support can have a postive effect. This is a "work-based
needs analysis" project which I am relating to the private clinic where I
work. I believe that CPD away from the NHS or a regular clinical environment
poses a challenge. As mainly lone workers in a usually time pressured and
profit maximising environment the opportunity to fulfil the legal
requirement as set by the NMC is possibly not as easy as it may be for other
nurse specialists. I will welcome any comments that relate to the following:
1. If you were asked to send your professional portfolio to the NMC within
24 hours would this be an easy task?!
2. Do you feel that CPD is your own responsibility and management need not
be involved?
3. Do you have a regular appraisal and if so does your CPD come into this
and does it fit into your companies strategy?
Many thanks in anticipation!
